Anyone mention the local dude Kyper yet? Didn't read all the threads. He was a force back in the day. I heard he performed at Boogie Nights a while back. He opened up for Egyptian Lover in the late 80's at a local joint in BR called 2010 for those who don't know. Check it out.

Kyper is a rapper, D.J. and actor based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His success occurred in the early 1990s with a string of club hits including "Conceited," "What Gets Your Body Hyped (XTC)," "Tic-Tac-Toe," "Throw Down," and "Spin the Bottle."

His biggest hit to date is "Tic-Tac-Toe," which charted on the Billboard Top 40 in the summer of 1990, selling over 1 million copies and peaking at #14. The track sampled? instrumental passages from "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes.
